Emailing MOV files? Cant do it

far2812

Hi All am trying to email a video to my auntie via hotmail but it keeps saying the file is too big.

Neither of us are technical at all so what is the easiest way to send it to her so she can watch it?

Thanks a million

Persuade Microsoft to increase the max file size that you can attach in Hotmail.

Split the Movie up into smaller chunks that are smaller than MS's max file size, then send these one at a time.

Copy the .mov file to a CD, DVD or other portable media and snail-mail it to the intended recipient.

Find an online file-sharing site where you can upload it, and the recipient can download it.

That's all I got for now.....

Probably the easiest way is to use a site like https://www.yousendit.com/

Email simply isn't designed to transfer large files.

I use Dropbox to share large files with friends and family. It's pretty good.

If she is going to watch it upload it to YouTube or Vimeo.

If not you can use an online service to share it, or you could drop the quality in an editing program like movie maker.

If the file is under 200mb then you can upload it to RapidShare and just send your auntie the link.

It's all well and good being able to finally send this large file but they then have to spend time downloading it at the other end. You can make the file smaller. I use either QuickTime Pro which then can compress the file a lot to something like mpeg 4 or use divx converter. Unfortunately there is a small cost for it but well worth it. Top quality and small file size.

try this:

zshare

it's free.
